History of the Cheltenham and Prahran Baseball Clubs

The present Cheltenham Baseball Club was formed from the merger in 1972, of the Prahran Baseball Club from the Victorian Baseball Association (VBA) and the original Cheltenham Baseball Club from the Dandenong Baseball Association (DBA).

The Club’s home is the Kingston Heath Reserve, Farm Rd, Cheltenham, where Summer and Winter sections of the club operate under an overall Board of Management.

The Club was incorporated on 6 January, 1986.

The information on the history pages is largely the result of the efforts of club stalwarts Herb Raphael (from his notes), John Ferguson and Graeme Ainscough, and later work by Stephen Campitelli.

It is a work in progress and any contributions about Cheltenham and Prahran BC history would be very welcome on cheltenhamrustlers@gmail.com
